I'd like to see the general reaction if a member of Congress pushed a bill requiring warning labels on all religious books and teachings, and banning children under 17 from being exposed to anything deemed overly violent or obscene... Sure, it'd be unconstitutional; but, no more so than the bill here aimed at video games!

It boggles my mind when the media and politicians completely ignore the antidepressants and other medications that these killers are on. That's the real issue here, not the video games. Almost all the shooters in the past 2 decades have been on some form of psychological medication, yet the media completely ignores this FACT.

Not to mention a quick trip to google shows Matheson is a blue dog conservative Democrat, he just barely hangs left of center. He's even been endorsed by the NRA. The world simply isn't black and white like some people want it to be.

I don't think that's the case. They do tend to be Democrat sponsored, but I'd say it's no more than a 60/40 split.

i don't know why anyone with half a brain considers either piece of the governing corporate duopoly to really be any different for actual policy direction. They both dance to the beat of multinational profiteering. Shake your fist at the companies that fund them, oh wait they don't have to disclose that much information directly, almost like it's a giant game designed to obfuscate the real and push the spin.
